" bargain breaks"

Anyone had a call from this companies reps regarding cheap holiday packages ?.. sham ?.. well sort of the packages do represent a small saving in accomadation costs but the details are well and truelly lost in the speil that changes by the minute .

CC details required... HAHA ..not when you call me
I told him I'd send him my card .. as my pet pig was tethered to the back fence fed and ready for flight.. and hung up .

A while later he calls back and asks did you look at our website .

I said i had trouble finding it because typing in bargain breaks into google kept coming up scam and I couldn't find the website in all the negitive responces... so I'll have to decline your offer for now trevor .

He called back 4 more times in a few minutes and only stopped when I told him I'd reporeted his conduct to the DSS and they would be
investigateing the matter soon.


next time I must try to be a little more proactive

Yeah, we've had calls like that. They call to offer some phenomenal deal and then when you say no they start to hassle you. The old "take us off your list or we'll report you" works 99% of the time.

DO NOT BUY AS IT IS A SCAM.

We recently bought into it and have only found out afte purchasing the "deal" that it isnt what we thought it is.

Strongly advise not to purchase.

Waste of money

Sorry to hear that, Marni.

You might like to report your experiences over at the Scam Warners site.

Are these the American ones, trying (ultimately) to flog off timeshares somewhere in the back swamps? Instead they offer amazing holiday packages.

Their MO is the same - a cold call.

There are a lot of reports on Whirlpool about that particular one.
